NCVO: Boost your personal influence and impact

Learn practical tools and techniques to increase your capability, confidence and impact when seeking to influence others – both within and outside your organisation

Influencing can be challenging. Particularly if we don’t feel we have the authority of a specific role, or confidence in our ability to put our message across.

This course focuses on some key principles and skills needed to increase your impact and create positive outcomes, both for yourself and others.

By the end of the training, you'll:

• understand the nature of influence, including what it is and what it isn’t
• increase your ability to influence through the way you engage with others. This includes both verbally, non-verbally, face to face and remotely
• understand your own influencing style and how to adapt to others
• explore a spectrum of key influencing behaviours and when best to use them
• have techniques to influence in potentially challenging situations. For example, speaking up in meetings, responding to someone in a more powerful position, giving a difficult message
• understand how to maintain confidence when feeling challenged
• know how the language of positive influence can boost engagement and personal impact
• understand your personal influencing strengths and identify opportunities to create greater impact.
